Property Summary
Nestled in the rolling hills of Cetona, Italy, Podere Fabbrica is a magnificent stone farmhouse that stands on the border between Tuscany and Umbria, on the slopes of Monte Cetona and within reach of the celebrated borghi of San Casciano dei Bagni and Chiusi. This exceptional vacation rental is the result of a careful and respectful restoration of a 19th century farmhouse, where fine traditional materials such as hand-made terracotta flooring and chestnut ceiling beams have been preserved and celebrated throughout. Encircled by majestic cypress trees and set within a sprawling estate of approximately 5 hectares, Podere Fabbrica comprises a main house and a separate annex, making it an ideal retreat for families, groups of friends, or multi-generational gatherings seeking both togetherness and privacy.

Outdoors
The estate's outdoor spaces are as thoughtfully composed as its interiors, offering a succession of distinct areas designed for relaxation, dining, and contemplation. The lush garden, covering approximately 2,000 square metres, is planted with a wide variety of seasonal flowers that bloom in rotation across the manicured lawn areas surrounding the house and the pool zone. A stately row of cypress trees lines the driveway leading to the property, reinforcing the timeless Tuscan character of the setting.

The rectangular pool measures 6 x 12 metres, with a depth ranging from 1.20 to 2 metres, and is finished in elegant grey stoneware tiles.

Description
Property Summary
Nestled on the breathtaking Costa degli Etruschi, known in English as the Coast of the Etruscans, Villa Corallina stands as one of the most remarkable vacation rental opportunities along the Tuscan coastline of Italy. Located in Marina di Bibbona, in the municipality of Bibbona, this extraordinary property dates back to 1920 and was constructed using perforated bricks and original Tuscan materials in an architectural style reminiscent of the renowned American architect Frank Lloyd Wright. In the post-war period, the villa served as the beach residence of the Marquises Ginori, and until the 1990s it functioned as a "Kinderheim," one of the many traditional summer camps for children. A meticulous restoration project carried out by the current owners in collaboration with architect Ponte of Genova resulted in the complete renovation of the original building while preserving the surrounding garden, which consists predominantly of Mediterranean maquis. The property extends across approximately 5 acres of lush grounds, offering an exceptional sense of privacy and tranquility. Guests benefit from private parking on the estate, a well-maintained yard that seamlessly blends natural Mediterranean vegetation with carefully tended outdoor spaces, and wireless internet connectivity throughout the property.
Outdoors
The outdoor spaces of Villa Corallina are truly exceptional, reflecting both the natural beauty of the Tuscan coastline and the thoughtful stewardship of the current owners. The expansive park is composed entirely of Mediterranean maquis and a dense pine wood, maintained in excellent condition and offering a serene, natural atmosphere. Beneath the old oak trees in front of the house, a dedicated play area features a ping-pong table, providing entertainment for guests of all ages. A magnificent portico, ideal for leisurely lunches and romantic dinners, opens directly onto the beach and offers stunning views of the red sunsets over the sea. A wooden gate located just a few metres from the portico leads directly to the beach, where guests may set up sunbeds to enjoy the sun-filled days. 2 showers with hot water are available at the beach access point for added convenience. Both the sea-facing side and the pool side of the property are furnished with umbrellas, tables, and chairs, creating comfortable outdoor living areas throughout the estate. Please note that the photographs of the property were taken in spring; therefore, the blossoming of flowers and the colour of the garden grass may differ at the time of your arrival.
The oval-shaped, non-heated swimming pool is positioned on the north side of the villa, nestled within a natural hollow in the sand dunes that already existed on the site, encircled by an amphitheatre of juniper hedges. In keeping with the owners' deep respect for the environment, no trees were cut down during its construction. The pool measures 9 x 5 metres with a depth ranging from 1 to 1.90 metres, is purified with chlorine, and features a swimming upstream function. The surrounding pool area is equipped with a bar area, deckchairs, sunbeds, umbrellas, a shower with hot water, tables, and chairs.

Villa Laconella is located on the south coast of the island of Elba, on the Gulf of Lacona, enclosed in an embrace of Mediterranean scrub where the colours and scents of nature mingle, gifting strong emotions. Its privileged position allows you to reach two of the most beautiful beaches on the island in just a few minutes on foot with a pleasant stroll on a partly-paved and partly-dirt road, accessible from a small gate in the garden: the beach of Lacona which, with its 1200 metres of white sand, is one of the largest beaches on the island and, next to it, the beach of Laconella, also sandy but with a beautiful cove of stones and pebbles on its right. Once past the entrance gate, the naturally shaded drive leads to this house which has been lovingly restored and furnished by three brothers who have personally supervised the internal and external organisation of the areas in order for it to be lived in both inside and outside. Villa Laconella is located on a sloping-down ground and so it has two not communicating floors, a ground floor and a basement floor, both reachable from the external, following the conformation of the terrain on which it is located. The two floors do not communicate with each other, and neither do the three residential units on the upper floor and this is precisely one of the strong points of the house as it offers complete independence to large groups of guests who choose it, though maintaining a natural unity of all spaces, thus making it the ideal solution for groups of large families. The villa is furnished in a modern style, with the prevailing tones of white standing out against the warm colours of the floor and the beige and blue of the details; natural light is the protagonist, entering through the large windows and the French windows. The internal and external areas are equipped with every comfort and it will be surprisingly easy to get used to, and to abandon yourself to, the company of the scents of the garden mingling with the smell of salt and the sound of the sea echoing in the background.
Interior:
Following the main access driveway, the road gently slopes down to the main entrance located on the lower ground floor. LOWER GROUND FLOOR – Entering from the main entrance, you will find a spacious open-plan living area with an open kitchen, dining table, and sofa; a hallway leads to a bathroom with shower; the sleeping area consists of a bedroom with a bunk bed and a private wardrobe, connecting via a sliding door to the double bedroom (which can also be accessed from the outside through a French door). GROUND FLOOR – From the outdoor area, a few steps lead up to the ground floor (also reachable via a pathway starting from the parking area), which houses three independent, non-communicating residential units, each with its own private entrance. UNIT 1: composed of a living area, a double bedroom, a bathroom with shower, and a small bedroom with a bunk bed. UNIT 2: composed of a living area, a bathroom with shower, and a double bedroom overlooking the rear of the villa (which, if needed, can connect to the small bedroom with bunk beds via an internal door, making these two units adjoining). UNIT 3: composed of a living area, a bathroom with shower, and a double bedroom. Note: the bathrooms are not equipped with bidets.
Park:
The beautiful garden surrounding the property extends over 1000 sq m and is completely fenced and entirely passable. As soon as you pass the main entrance gate you come to the handy parking area where you are immediately immersed in typical Mediterranean scrub. The garden is rich in the classic vegetation of the island of Elba with cork trees, pines and brooms which offer many shaded areas. Among this luxuriant vegetation are local wild brambles, planted in the garden and blending in well with the juniper and rosemary. There are also beds of ornamental plants, as well as various herbs that will give your dishes a Mediterranean flavour. In front of the main entrance of the villa is the tiled outdoor area, with gazebo, table and chairs and equipped with a mobile barbecue and an outdoor stainless steel stove that will welcome the guests to fully enjoy the convivial moments of the table with a background of the sound of the sea nearby. Next to the pool, a flight of stone steps across the garden leads to a small gate leading to the road to the beach of Lacona, just a few hundred metres away and reachable on foot. At the end of the driveway, next to the parking area, is a stone structure with the laundry room, a handy outdoor sink and a shower.
Please notice that photos are taken in spring, therefore flower blossoming, and the colours of the gardens' grass could be different at the moment of your arrival at the villa.
Swimming Pool:
The swimming pool is located in front of the external living area and is reached via a tiled path or up a few stone steps from the ground floor. The pool area is bordered by a beautiful classical style colonnade and elegant statues on one side and a low stone wall on the other. The irregular-shaped pool (a rectangle with a rounded side from which Roman steps lead down into the water), measuring 7 x 6.5 m with a constant depth of 1.4 m, is lined in travertine and equipped with salt purification and internal lighting. Surrounding it is the solarium area with travertine paving and furnished with sunbeds while, adjacent to the solarium, under the shade of a beautiful gazebo, is an external seating area with sofas. Next to the pool area is a changing room and an outdoor hot and cold-water shower. The pool is open from the last Saturday of April until the first Saturday in October.
Pets: Yes. € 50,00 per animal per week to be paid on site.

Approximately one hectare of fenced parkland, enclosed by wire mesh fencing and hedges reaching 1.80 metres in height, surrounds the property and provides complete privacy. The garden is dotted with fragrant bushes of rosemary, jasmine, aloe, and roses, as well as olive trees, all distributed between the buildings and the various outdoor living areas.
